Piggy Sports Day

Leave a comment

Hello there! Well, we’ve had a very busy week here at Longhaugh P1.

We had our interhouse sports this week. We have 4 houses at Longhaugh Primary School, Mains, Dudhope, Claypotts and Broughty. We are all allocated a house and throughout the year we get house points for achievements, hard work and doing kind and thoughtful things etc. At the end of the school year we always have an interhouse competition. We all wear our house colours and cheer on our teams. This year, unfortunately, you can’t really see our colours as it was a rather chilly day and some of us had our coats on! We managed to have great fun though and we will find out which house won the championship next week!

              

              

We also had our whole school green trip this week. This is a trip to acknowledge all the boys and girls who have worked hard and behaved really well all year. We were all really looking forward to having a day at Camperdown Park but unfortunately the wonderful scottish summer got in the way and it rained most of the day!! Mr Munro and Mrs Jenkins didn’t want us to be disappointed so they managed to book the Odeon cinema and we all went to see The Croods. We all had a great time….thank you very much Mr Munro and Mrs Jenkins!

              

The weather started to brighten up just before lunch and we were lucky to be able to have our sports in the afternoon. We didn’t have time to get through all our races but we all did really well on the races we managed to complete.

              

             

On Friday we had our Piggy sports day with the nursery. We had been practising all the sports and we had made lots of piggy snouts ready for the nursery coming. On the day we all had our jobs to do at each station and we explained the activities and helped all the nursery boys and girls do the right thing. We had our p6 buddies there to help us with the scoring. We had a great time and at the end we all got an ice lolly. Yum!

  

  

  

As Fathers Day is this Sunday we all made cards to celebrate the dads, grandads, step-dads and uncles we have in our lives. We had to carefully colour, paint and cut out to make this fantastic card. We’re sure all the dads/grandads will love it!

Hello there and welcome back to Longhaugh Primary 1 in sunny Dundee!

We have been finishing our 4th Little Pig stories. We have finished the middle part of our story and have been working on the ending. We have completed our pictures and added our sentences.

  

In maths this week we have been recapping time and looking at digital time. We have been playing lots of time games and activities on the interactive white board. We even made a ‘human clock’ outside.

                                                 

As we have such a busy week next week we have been practising most afternoons for our piggy sports with the nursery. We are going to be leading the sports and we have been taking turns at being leaders. We have been learning the best way to explain the different activities to the nursery boys and girls and we have been practising explaining them to each other. We have also become very good at encouraging each other when we are participating in our team games!

The Puppet Show

Well, this is our last full week in Primary one before we break for the summer holidays! Where has the time gone.

We have been busy continuing with subtraction this week, this time we had to find the missing number. That was quite a tricky job!

We planted the beanstalks, that we had been growing, into our school garden this week. Hopefully they will grow over the summer holidays. We’re not sure if we want to find a giant at the top of them though!!

              

We also wrote 2 sentences in our thinking books saying what we had planted in the garden.

We used the giant characters that we had created a few weeks ago and we wrote a story about them. We had given them a name and some of us took them on an adventure. Some of us talked about what they would like to eat, what games they would like to play and places they would like to visit.

                  

We had our inter house sports this week. We joined P2, P2/3 and P3 and we split into our houses. Longhaugh Primary has 4 houses – Mains, Claypotts, Dudhope and Broughty. We then were split into 4 teams within our houses and we had to do an obstacle course. We were all timed and the quickest team will be announced on Monday!

  

We had a very special treat this week. A story teller was visiting Longhaugh Nursery and they invited us to come and  listen to his tales and watch his puppet show. His name was Steven and he told us, with his puppets, the traditional tales The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Jack and the Beanstalk.

  

  

We all enjoyed it very much and it was lovely to visit all the boys and girls in the Nursery.
